As a director, Ben Affleck is now 3 for 3 with this not so "little movie".

What do I think?? This movie looks amazing.  Originally scheduled to be released in October 2012, it was pushed back til January for re shoots following a certain shooting in Colorado.  What a shame....but still cannot wait.  This looks like a MUST-SEE!!

Taken 2 MOVIE REVIEW

An unnecessary sequel that doesn't match the intensity or originality of the first installment.

People Like Us MOVIE REVIEW

It's a movie that could have had everything resolved everything in 15 minutes, but adds a little charm and heart to keep me entertained.

BOX OFFICE REPORT: Taken 2 Tops, Frankenweenie Flops

It was a big weekend at the box office for Liam Neeson as Taken 2 had one of the strongest October openings ever. Bad reviews did not seem to have any effect on the sequel as it cruised to a spectacular $50 million debut — more than twice than what the original made in its first weekend. Hotel Transylvania also had a strong second weekend, adding another $27.1 million to its total, while Pitch Perfect jumped to #3 after a nationwide expansion and Rian Johnson’s Looper dropped to #4. Meanwhile, Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie earned just $11.4 million, which is even less than ParaNorman made a couple of months ago. Not only does this continue the streak of disappointments for stop motion animated films but it’s also another tough break for Disney who have had a pretty rough year. Will Wreck-It Ralph be their only saving grace next month?

Dredd 3D MOVIE REVIEW

A fun B-rated action flick that accomplishes everything it set out to and more.

Looper MOVIE REVIEW

It's been a while since we've had a good time travel movie, but the genre looks like it has found it's way back.

The Master MOVIE REVIEW

A very smart movie with equally strong performances makes this one a gem that deserves more than one viewing.

BOX OFFICE REPORT: Hotel Transylvania Opens Big

It was a huge weekend for Sony as their animated film Hotel Transylvania had a record-breaking debut. The movie earned approximately $43 million, which makes it the biggest opening in September ever. It still wasn’t quite at the level of movies like Ice Age: Continental Drift, Madagascar 3 or The Lorax, but it was the best debut for a Sony Pictures Animation movie to date and further proof that these CG family films are always a force to be reckoned with. Elsewhere, Rian Johnson’s Looper was pretty solid in second place with $21 million, and although it did not exceed expectations, it is projected to make even more than that in China, believe it or not. Pitch Perfect also opened strong in select theatres and will build on that when it expands next week, but Won’t Back Down bombed big time ending up in 10th place. Not a big surprise considering I haven’t seen a single piece of marketing for this movie. Next weekend Taken 2 and Frankenweenie will make the competition even more fierce.
